SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating the time a golf clubhead is in contact with a golf ball, given a mass of 0.05 kg, an initial speed of 80 m/s, and an average force of 6500 N. The law of impulses is highlighted, specifically the equation Δp = FΔt, where Δp represents the change in momentum. To find the time of contact, one must first calculate the change in momentum and then rearrange the impulse formula accordingly. The user Daniel provides guidance on applying this principle effectively.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Newton's laws of motion
  • Familiarity with the concept of momentum
  • Knowledge of the law of impulses
  • Basic algebra for rearranging equations
NEXT STEPS
  • Review the principles of momentum and impulse in physics
  • Learn how to calculate change in momentum using Δp = mv - mu
  • Study examples of impulse problems in sports physics
  • Practice rearranging equations to solve for unknown variables
USEFUL FOR

Students studying physics, particularly those focusing on mechanics, as well as educators looking for examples of impulse and momentum applications in real-world scenarios.

HELP! i can't think of the formula!

Homework Statement



A 0,05kg golf ball is driven from the tee at a speed of 80m/s. if the average accelerating force on the ball is 6500N, determine how long the clubhead is in contact with the ball.

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



I have sat staring at this question for awhile. could somebody please help me out so i can substitute...?

Have you heard of the law of Impulses?
It states that: [tex]\Delta{\vec{p}} = \overline{\vec{F}}\Delta{t}[/tex]
Try it.
Where dP is the change in momentum, and F is the average force...

Thank you

What would Δp⃗ be?
